Juggling Shows of Pakistan

                 From last five years Morning Shows have made a revolution in Pakistani media. Every channel has its own morning show i.e. a news channel or a religious channel. Morning shows are providing an extra dose of entertainment to people from all walks of life. After sending children school and husbands office house wives turn on television and take an energetic and fresh start of the day by watching the beautiful ladies (hosts) of morning shows.

What a morning show comprised of? A talkative host entangled into branded clothes or a dummy displaying designer’s outfits. In fact most of the hosts have started selling the designer dresses that they wear in the show. If you want to buy that particular outfit just sms as much as you can. Besides host, the other eye-catching attraction of a morning show is its guest, new day new morning and a new guest, he or she can be from any field.  It depends on the show’s topic. No doubt morning shows has lessened the space between celebrities and audience. We can reach our favorite celebrities on a single phone call or by sms. But now every channel has its morning show and the guests are switching from one show to another. More over a morning show has number of interesting segments. Caption the image, birthday bumps, fitness, beauty these are some of the most famous segments that a morning show have. 

From last two years a new trend has hit the morning shows that are wedding seasons. I remember Shaista Wahidi’s morning show “Good Morning Pakistan” had introduced the first wedding season and after that all the morning shows copied it. “Wedding season celebrating in a morning show” it sounds abnormal.  Why a morning show is celebrating wedding season? A person turn on television in morning to get a fresh start but what he saw traditional ceremonies mayun, mehindi even baraat and valima,  all the people are singing shadi songs wearing heavy labled dresses and jewellerys . On the other hand these shadi shows were helpful for people who are getting married or are involved in marriage ceremonies, This is one side of the coin other side of the coin shows that these shows are developing inferiority complex inside poor audience. Every one watches morning shows from rich to poor but now a day’s morning shows are featuring shows for wealthy people only, wedding season is one of the obvious example. The heavy, expensive, branded clothes are not in every one’s reach and at the time of such economic crises these kinds of shows can only raise suicide rate in Pakistan.

Now a day’s switching of hosts is a hotly debated issue. I am talking about the recent shifting of Shaista Wahidi on Geo television in replacement of “Nadia Khan Show”  “Utho jago Pakistan” hit the television screens recently.  However Nadia Khan herself shifts from ARY to Geo television but no doubt Nadia khan is the trend setter. She has taught everyone how to host a morning show that is why many anchors copying her in every other show but she’s also a copy cat. Nadia had copied Shasta’s GNP segment of summer mela and Nadia Khan’s summer mela was again featuring the elite class of Pakistan.

Most of the morning shows started in past and ended in past. Like KIran and George a husband wife family morning shows.

All and all morning shows are can be call as backbone of Pakistani media and an extra dose of entertainment but this extra dose is now becoming an over dose for audience. Day start and ends on watching these shows. It seems that there is no more entertainment left. Same sequence, same segments, same shows that are call as morning shows!

Band Baja Baraat: Mauj Masti Dhamaal

Y

ou have attended many wedding parties but this time Yash Raj film is giving you an open invitation to attend a marriage ceremony. No, Aditya Chopra is not going to be married nor Anushka Sharma but for his latest movie Band Baja Baraat that has recently released on 10^th December 2010. So all the barratries get ready, he is eagerly waiting for your honorable presence the venue is your nearby cinema houses. This movie is full of liveliness and can be call as Mauj, Masti, and Dhamaal.

The movie is produced by Aditya Chopra and Directed by Maheesh Sharma. The lead role in the movie is playing by young couple Anushka Sharma and a new comer Ranveer Singh. Anushka Sharma playing role of Shruti Kakkar is the same lucky girl who started her career by working with Shahrukh Khan in Rab ne bana de Jodi. She has recently worked in Badmash Company played a Badmash role. But this time you will see her in a different role of 20 years old young Graduate and ambitious girl who wanted to start her own wedding planning business Shaadi Mubarak Her acting and dialogue delivery is flawless. She has perfectly played the role of a middle class girl and her attire adds extra spices in her performance. Like all the mom dads in the world her parent also wants to get her married but she took 5 years’ time from them to fulfill all her dreams.  On the other hand, Ranveer Singh playing role of Bitto gao ka chorra (village boy) whose parents wants to take him back to the village but he made excuse of Shaadi Mubarak. He has given a flawless performance in the movie and his accent reflects his ethnicity well.

Band Baja Barat movie is inspired from a Hollywood movie “The wedding planner” in which female wedding planner falls in love with groom but Band Baja Barat is the story of two youngsters who started the wedding planning business and falls in love with each other like all the Hindi movies. However Anushka (Shruti) has certain rules of business jiss key sath veopaar karo uss sey kabhie na pyar karo (never loves your business partner) but like all Hindi movies she forgets all her rules and falls in love with Ranveer (Bitto). Now a days there is a trend in all Bollywood movies a girl falls in love but the boy didn’t accept the love and labbled the relationship as friendship but at the end of the movie he realizes “I am in love with her” recently the same scene is picturise in the super hit movie I hate love story in which Sonam Kapoor falls in love with Emran Khan but he didn’t accept her love and called the relationship as so called friendship but in the end of the movie he realize that he actually loves Sonam so as in the movie Band Baja Baraat, initially Shruti hides her love but soon she break off partnership with Bitto and started working separated but last grand marriage took both of the hearts near and finally Bitto recognize the feelings for Shruti in his heart and the movie ends like all Hindi movies on the line  “and they live happily ever after”.

The songs of the movie are quite pleasant. Ainvey Ainvey is an interesting song with catchy lyrics and wonderful expressions and dance. Now days, it is playing in every wedding party and FM radio stations. Dam Dam mast hai is another energetic song and Adha ishq is a romantic number in the movie. However the whole movie from start till end is unrealistic. It shows the height of luckiness. Shruti and Bitto’s first planned wedding without any big experience becomes successful and the game is not over yet after one wedding they gave number of hits without any failure. Moreover, the team working with them doesn’t betray them. The Director can do much more and better stuff in the plot regarding profit and loss of wedding planning business and about their life but regretfully he just focused on the love story throughout the movie.

The movie Band Baja Baraat is a complete time pass movie. The expressions and dialogues have added extra color and spices in it.
